Domain Transfer: You understand that you must supply Enter.Net with the username and password for unlocking the domain and/or unlock the domain yourself at the current registrant in order for the transfer to take place. Locking or unlocking a domain is the process in which you allow or deny a domain to change registrars. You further understand that no claim may be made against Enter.Net for any delays, miscommunications, the time it takes the registrar to change the DNS servers, unlock the domain, down time of the domain or the time it takes you to provide the correct information to enable the transfer. You must respond to any s received from the registrar or Enter.Net for the purpose of transferring the domain name correctly and timely. If a response is not received by you in a correct and timely manner, this will delay the transfer of your domain. Changing DNS may take hours in order for the domain to be seen properly.

3 Domain Hosting: It is also your responsibility to copy any Web site files, custom or non-custom scripts, programs or applications located at the current hosting server and upload those files to the new location on Enter.Net's server once the domain name is transferred, unless other prior arrangements have been made with Enter.Net.

All personal information given during the domain registration process must, by ICANN regulations, be available for anybody to view on the web through the public WHOIS database. Private Registration protects your personal information by keeping this information out of the public WHOIS database. This service will assign alternate contact information that is displayed in your WHOIS listing.

4 The term and expiration date of the Private Registration are independent of the domain name registration term and expiration date. If Private Registration is added at the same time as a new domain name registration, the services will be linked together and share the same expiration date. If Private Registration is added to an existing domain name at any other time, the expiration dates will not be linked and be payable on separate invoices. If you do not renew the Private Registration service by the expiration date, the Private Registration service may automatically be deleted from your domain name. If a domain name is deleted for non-payment, the Private Registration will also be deleted. If a domain name is restored during the Redemption Grace period, the Private Registration service will have to be purchased again. The Redemption Grace Period is when the domain name has expired, but has not yet been released for others to purchase it. Please note that the Private Registration service may not be transferred when a domain name is transferred to or away from Enter.Net. Enter.Net does not give refunds, in whole or in part, for the Private Registration service for any reason and this service may be terminated at any time, for any reason, at Enter.Net's sole discretion.
